The young Jacksonville, Florida band is notorious for jamming heavy, Southern–fried blues over furious hardcore punk songs — a recent review from The A.V. Club compared it to "what Fucked Up might sound like of the band had been born and bred in the Deep South instead of chilly Canada... a blinding mix of anthemic punk rage and mosquito–stung Southern rock swagger." Decibel Magazine got right to the point and proclaimed that Vices' sound "will make you want to go smash some liquor bottles down by the creek."
